to:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"I always thought it was more like \\\"Thank God someone\\\'s figured out a plan to fight them.\\\"\\\'\\\'

That\\\'s another way to take the line, yes--but remember that, for the British, the idea that the United States always jumps in on a crisis at the very last minute is almost as prevalent as the American idea that the U.S. saved everyone\\\'s asses in WWII. There\\\'s some examples of that in the CulturalPosturing section.

So with the kind of tone in the British commander\\\'s voice, it\\\'s pretty easy to hear the \\\"it\\\'s about time those Yanks joined the rest of us in fighting these aliens\\\" {{subtext}}.

-->\\\'\\\'\\\"But why justify it at all? It doesn\\\'t really serve to illuminate the example. America saving the day may be totally justified but inserting the line makes the example read awkwardly. It was fine the way it was; there\\\'s not really a purpose in adding to it.\\\"\\\'\\\'

It was fine the way it was written before Barano made edits. There\\\'s not really a purpose in \\\'\\\'deleting\\\'\\\' the justification.

If you\\\'re going to get picky and say \\\"there\\\'s no need to include justifications,\\\" you\\\'re going to be spending a lot of time removing those mentions from every trope example in the wiki--for example, the \\\'\\\'Armegeddon\\\'\\\' example later down this page, which also includes justifications.

And if it\\\'s not done for all of them and only the ID4 example, then doesn\\\'t that speak of a certain personal opinion of the tropers themselves concerning this one specific movie?

Remember, again, that a JustifiedTrope \\\'\\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\'\\\' a legitimate method of playing with the basic thing, and if it \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\' receive viable in-universe justification, then it shouldn\\\'t be removed. TropesAreNotBad, and justifying a trope [[TropesAreNotGood does not make it good either]]. It just means that the trope getting played makes sense in-universe, whether or not you love the movie or hate it.
